Prufrock

“Prufrock, our certified organic, washed rind cheese and an enduring favorite, is revered as our “critical darling”. It stands as a testament to our dedication to pushing the boundaries of tradition and technique. The mild and damp climate of Martha’s Vineyard, saturated with a perpetual salty tang, emerges as the ideal backdrop for crafting our washed-rind cheese. To truly understand this cheese, you must first celebrate our organic cow’s milk that carries the distinct terroir of our land. It becomes a canvas for cheesemaking artistry, infused with the ever-changing flavors of the pasture that evolve with each passing season. The supple and stinky character of Prufrock is an ode to the rustic orange rind that matures within our cheese cave, encasing a delectable soft paste with a golden hue. The inner paste of Prufrock is a pungent revelation, adorned with hints of apricots and the subtle richness reminiscent of cured ham. Offering a beautiful interplay of textures, its inner core boasts a luscious, thick, soft, and yielding texture that is a sensory delight.” – Grey Barn (read more at www.thegreybarnandfarm.com/prufrock)
